I wouldn’t chalk this one up to Angelo making a pick that a bunch of other GMs wouldn’t make. There are a lot of GMs that would have taken Carimi with that pick given who was still on the board, especially if they would have had the Bears roster. Carimi will be back and I expect he will have a solid pro career.

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:27:17 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=167796#comment-1393988You knew when Carimi fell into the Bears laps something was amiss. Did anyone honestly believe that Angelo was smarter than the 30 GM’s who passed up Carimi in the first round ? This is exactly what happened with Tommie Harris who also fell int their laps.Unfortunately he may be a guy with a couple great years early then an early exit from football. When things look too good to be true they usually are especially when Angelo is involved.

You’re right. Columbo went to the Cowboys for a few years after the Bears. He’s with the Dolphins as of this year.

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 21:18:25 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=167796#comment-1393795Ouch. Tough year for the baby badgers. Bill Nagy, John Moffitt, and Gabe Carimi all earned starting jobs as rookies and all are on the IR.

If I were JJ Watt or Lance Kendricks, I might wear an extra knee brace the rest of the season.

Buddy, the player you are thinking of is mentioned in the article above. His name is Levi Horn. He’s a tackle from Montana and he’s actually 6’7″, 315 lbs.

Levi Brown was the 5th overall pick of the Cardinals a few years back. You’re right in that he’s 6’6″, 330 lbs, unfortunately he’s not on your team.

There’s another Levi Brown that is a backup QB for the Bills.

But I am curious to see how the monster Levi Brown ( 6-6 330) plays, then again, I hope he doesn’t have to play cause that would mean another injury to the Oline.
